Dark Journey

Took one of my previous poems, Journey, and made it darker. This is the shorter, more rhyme based version of Saint or Worldender, Hate or Love Letter. Figured I'd share it as an alternative.

Formless purgatory resurrects effigies of the bottomless necklace of necrosis’s orphans utopia I hang from vanquished anger inanimate, broken

Combing frozen over oceans grasping at telepathic vassels in the tapestry’s anatomy an achromatic lab rat scavenging anthrax’s labyrinths avalanching instantaneous chains containing a dangerous trek of shipwrecked adoration, Salem menstruating mayhem

Abundant underworlds; a compass clutching my sundown’s conundrum I sometimes slumber in summer luscious marmalade at the underside of the summit umbrage

Unversed at the gallows’ salvation devouring the archipelago entrance to an Everest tempestuous a breath of fresh air in the sun’s glare, despair’s arrogant desert a mirage of the deathless, a breakfast in heavens, a marriage of paraplegic minds grindstones relentless adventure calibrating salamanders complementing immortal severance like a visceral Icarus chrysalis of a vendetta’s Armageddon

I sit serendipitous like ventriloquist in the killer’s mist missionary’s of sickness amidst alliterations ejaculating basilisks of imagination bestiaries of vulgarity compendiums of unending temperance vulnerability invalidated gladiators of maverick omnipresent dance like weaponized shepherds of leopards 

Schizophrenic revenants dabbling avidly at a madness avalanche rancid in the grime of humankind serpentine with divine comprehension on the page, is there anything to mention but the decadent requiem of destiny fading insatiating by wayward deities again?

Reality bending hallucinogenic clementine’s crucified from the spinal vinyl of my mind unwinding on the aegis of the stage, the ink savoury aether played with a serrated assailant alienating vandalizing the dark side of my silence, unopening eyelids

Poems glide ivory violins chimera, Leviathan sirens bridled on my whim, undistinguished civilisations the articulations of graffiti pleading for the evening parchment of my tongue unwelcoming,  dancing on the wind strung by Solomon’s leprechauns, touched by the words insurgency as they kiss my skin, the worms of epidermis, contaminated, avian, infinite, beginning to end, constellations

From a bottomless edge, free-falling to frolic through the volumes dead, auburn softness blossoming docile obelisks, full-throttle hollow Molotov’s of novelists

That bled promising dominatrix a rosemary canary of monasteries to the bottomless marauders buried red carrousel fabled tales of hurricane's sanctuary underground a mountain malachite to carry bright, phoenix Elysium breathing teaspoons of crimson kryptonite, deciphering the vipers into the enlightenment

Candied archenemies feathers of legendary memories glide generations left behind to climb the moon scythe of midnight's diaphragm, screaming cleavers of grim reaper homo sapien

I am Aphrodite's spider, a poltergeist of sapphire wyverns diving maniacal into the spires of Poseidon, wildlife's Leviathan a rising geyser bonfire of wraithlike iron chastised igniting lightning’s indictment smiting Vikings on the Valkyrie breeze of a malachite paraplegic seven seas' zion

Divine sayonara bargaining gardens with the graphite visage of crimson religion ripped from the skijor of my fingers 

The piano spirit animal of dynamo notes of primrose vipers among psychedelic cypresses rewriting of the third eyed horizons that cry goliaths of Pied Piper enlightenment on the beguiled isles of Dragonriders hieroglyphs insidious griffins of visionaries behind the barriers of simultaneous werewolf cornucopias catapulting my solace from purgatories virtuoso

I push on past the hourglass and hatch mavericks from the flickering fingertips of rains vibrations painting maelstroms in the prelude to the futures institutionalism

The music written in the superstition's obituaries of my words regurgitated patriarchs of creations misinterpretations of the guillotine reapers conceived by the doubtless mouth’s echoed secretions devouring death’s thrall’s deemed dreamless, the world’s hurricane meaningless

I abbreviate the deviant inside the xylophone defiling the chimera heritage of wordsmith carrion, barely solitary enough to resuscitate the desolation that veils the halo of god's failure reincarnated through the debilitation of hatred's weight heartbreaking shapeless gospel of a doppelganger's anguish insanity a defibrillator intimidating

 

 

Author's Note

I very seldom reply to reviews, but I promise I read EVERY single one. I look forward to my next review, because it helps me learn. Even if it's just one word, I promise, I will be ecstatic to have the chance to hear what you have to say. Whenever you write something about my poems, or the themes of my poems, or criticize me it is not in vain. I will listen, learn and be thankful.
